IPhone 5s first battery charge

I have just gotten a brand new iPhone 5s and just ran out of battery: how long should I keep it plugged-in for the first battery charge?
iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1.2

Do whatever you like. Leave it until it's fully charged if you don't need to walk away from the charger with it, or leave it on charge for as long or as little as you like. The best way to look after the battery is to stop yourself inventing rules. Lithium batteries do better when they are exercised. The only thing which you are better avoiding is to do what most people think is good: run it down until it dies, then charge it to 100%, then run it down until it dies... This is not good for lithium batteries.
Charge it whenever a charger is to hand, regardless of the current state of charge, and don't worry about it.

First battery charge and current issues?

Hi!
I just bought a new MacBook (2.0 GHz, 160 GB). I have two quick questions:
1. I plugged in my AC adapter, turned on the notebook for about 5 minutes to make sure it works fine, etc, then shut it down to let the battery charge. Would I have lost any battery capacity by not fully charging the battery first? And do I need to let the battery run through a full cycle when I first use the computer to ensure full capacity?
2. Are there any updates/best practices for the 2008 (December) MacBook batteries? I know there was an issue in 2007, but for the new line am I set to go? And is it still best practice to put shut the Mac down instead of putting it to sleep to save wear and tear on the hard-drive/battery?
sorry for all the questions: it has been 5 years since I bought my last notebook so I am a bit rusty/excited!

Recommended First Battery Charge

Hi everyone. Im receiving my 8Gb iphone tomorrow and I was wondering how long should I leave it charging for the first time? Ive seen many of you having problems with battery life and Ive looked everywhere but Apple doesnt state anything.
With all my previous phones, as soon as I bought them either on the manual or the service provider's salesperson would specify how long the first charge would be. Its something about charging it a long long time so it's programmed to full capacity, cause if the first time you charge it for just a little while or the typical 2 hours, the battery wont use its whole capacity. Such as with laptops. May be a myth for all I know but its worked with my laptops and my cell phones so far.
So does anyone have an idea of how long should I charge the phone for th efirst time?
Id really appreciate it. Thanks! Susana

You can only charge the iPhone's battery or any battery until it is completely charged. The battery's charge can't go past full - the charging process will stop when full.
Some people like to "season" their battery which I don't think makes much if any difference but to do this, make sure the battery is completely charged.
Use it until the iPhone shuts down automatically - which it will do when the battery is depleted.
Charge it completely - don't disconnect it until completely charged.

First battery charge

Plugged my Ipod shuffle (512mb) into my USB to charge for the 1st time and it blinks for about 10 seconds....it stops blinking or charging after I start using the computer...any ideas what i am doing wrong?

It doesn't have to be fully charged the first time; this is a myth promulgated by the uneducated. To calibrate your battery meter (make it more closely reflect the actual state of charge), charge it up by connecting it to your peecee for 3-4 hours, then start it playing and put the hold switch on. Then leave it alone until the battery finally dies.

My iPod dies!!! after the first battery charge cycle

Hi,
Last month I bought a 30GB iPod video through Amazon when I was on vacations on the US, now I'm in my hometown Lima (Peru)... well, for the month I had the iPod, everything worked fine, but I've never let the battery died, I mean I've always have it fully charged and never get the "not enougth battery message".. until yesterday when it suddenly stops playing.
Well I tough it was nothing so I turn the iPod on again and there was the Apple logo (it was the second time I saw it, the first was on the firmware update), then I get the not enough battery sign, I tougth it was ok.... then I get home, connect to the USB port I always use to synchronize it, and NOTHING happens!!!, the computer does not reconigze it, and it doesn't turn on either, there's nothing on the screen, but I did have noticed something: the iPod was hot, I immediately disconnect it from the USB (it was plugged for about 10 seconds), I've tried to reset it (procedure I've just learned since I've never had any problems with the iPod)... and no matter what i did, it didn't turn on.
I don't think the problem is the USB port because I try to connect a USB drive, and it works.
The questions is...what can I do to fix it?, I'm sure my iPod is covered by the "Apple One-Year Limited Warranty" but the problem is that I'm in Lima!! do I have to send the iPod to the US?? pleeease help me!! I save a year to be able to buy an iPod and now it isn't working!!
Thanks in advance.
AMD Athlon XP 2400+ Windows XP Pro

Thank u, Ryan, Masna and Kpxjoon...and of course I've tried the 5 R's... I think I've read every single post to find if anyone had a similar problem.. anyway
So.. Broken? how? ... well that's what I thought in first place, that I would have to send the it for service, the biggest problem is that I'm not in the US now, I bought the iPod on the US through Amazon (the shipping address was on the US too)... well now in Lima (Peru), I live here and I wouldn't return to the US anytime soon, Does the warranty still work in here??
I went to iPod Service Request site... and bad news for me again "If you cannot find the country you are looking for.... If you live outside these countries, please contact your local Apple Authorized Service Provider."
I found some Authorized Service Centers in Lima, do I have to take the iPod to them and they will fix or replace it with no charge, even though I purchase the iPod on the US??... it was my biggest worry since the beginning...
The iPod and it's package is in perfect shape, it evens has the plastic wrap, which it comes with...and I keep it in a case, so there's almost no scratches on it, and it's just a MONTH old!!!...I'm not worry about the data, 'cause everything is on my iTunes Library... I just want my iPod back
Sorry for posting so often, Thank u very much for ur time

Iphone 4 looses battery charge every night

For the last two nights after charging my phone....when I wake up my phone is all the way dead.
I've closed off all of my notifications or anything that draws battery power when phone is just sitting.
It's happened the last 2 weeks.
Phone is an Iphone4...

Yes it does a full charge all the time.
At night I unhook the phone and put it in bed so I can get up when phone alarm goes off.
So at night it starts out at 100 percent then it's 0 percent when I wake up....
So charging cable works fine as I have two of them as I have ipad too...
My new iphone will be here in a month...but I need to deal with the immediate issue at hand now...which is a dead phone issue that works at night. BTW..when I got up I put it on charge and it charged to 100percent in 30 minutes which is very fast. As of now my phone is on 92 percent (apps turned off)...So what does that mean?

IPhone 6 Plus battery charging routines

Hello all, I recently upgraded my phone to an iPhone 6 Plus. I am just wondering how other people charge their iPhones, I want to optimize the charging routines now so I can guarantee the battery will hold strong. I've read different opinions on various forums regarding letting the battery deplete all the way to 0% and charge it fully, and some say to keep it between 40% and 80%. I have tried running the phone and then not charging it at night and letting it charge a little here and there. I use the iPhone heavily from 7AM to around 9PM and around that time I am still in the 50% range despite heavy use, the next day the iPhone almost lasted me through the whole day. With all my other phones I always let them die and then charged them all the way so I would start at 100% the next day. I heard that the phones "trickle charge" once they reach 100% so its not being overcharged. I am wondering how people cycle their phone batteries, and if I should ever worry about this affecting the overall performance and dependability on the battery- Thanks Patrick

You have one or more apps that are using energy in the background. Location Services is not an issue; it uses very little energy. Apps that receive Notifications do. And apps that run in background do. If you have the FaceBook app that is probably the culprit. But there are other possibilities.
See: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain
A couple more things to note:
I don't have notifications enabled for many apps
For the notifications that I do receive, only text messages, calendar alerts (via Sunrise), Slack, TripIt, and a couple other essentials hit my lock screen.
I don't have Facebook installed
Even if the above weren't true, the fact that the phone seems to do fine for some amount of time after a restore, and then unexpectedly halves battery life is still bizarre. I don't materially change anything about my behavior.
Lawrence, I'll note that I've actually done everything in that guide save for turning off my battery percentage (for obvious reasons).

The new iPad first battery charge issue

I just got the new iPad, I waited for the battery to die and the I let it charge for 14 hours and it only charged from 2% to 37%, then I changed the power cord and the outlet and it took it 5 hours from 37% to 100%. Is this normal? 19 hours from 2% to 100%, seriously? I know that iPads take a long time to fully charge the battery, but I think this is unusual. Thanks already for the answers...

You're welcome. All the USB cords are the same, so it doesn't matter which USB cable your use. The difference is in the Charger the USB cable is connected to.
I don't know if you know this, but the User Guide is conveniently bookmarked in Safari on your iPad. It might help you to read it and I'll bet you'll learn things about your iPad you didn't know. Plus, if you ever get into trouble, you can refer to the guide for assistance.
Take care......

TS4062 should the battery be replaced after 1 year im using a iphone 4S my battery charging line is RED!

my battery is showing red

Is this to be expected?
If I take this to an Apple Authorized center will it get replaced or do I need to buy a battery?
It is certainly not to be expected. However, if you are past your 1-year warranty, it will be difficult to get the battery replaced at no cost to you. It won't hurt to try, though.
Why does this happen? I mostly keep the MB plugged in as I use it with a current Cinema Display. Does charging it all the time this way diminish the battery?
As long as you are calibrating your battery regularly, this should not happen, even if you are plugged in most of the time. More info:

First time battery charge

Hello,
I just got myself a new 13-inch Macbook Pro retina display. I've been reading about the first battery charge and how to use it later on, but I have another question on the first charge:
For the first charge, do I need to turn the Macbook off or can I use it while it charges for the first time, full charge.
Thank you!

Hi j,
You can use it, just make sure you charge it all the way up before disconnecting the power adapter. Enjoy!

HT201263 My I phone 5 got hot actually very hot.. Boiling hot and then the battery charge went from 100 to 50 and within a minute was shut down and never on again...I bought the phone from the apple store in manhattan new York I bout the unlocked phone

My I phone 5 got very hot actually boiling hot although it was not exposed to any external heat ...it was fully charged and within 10 minutes it was half charged 50% and within one minute it was shut down ... Tried re charging through the computer and through the power but no response the phone is totally black... Tried connecting to I tunes and no response.. The thing is that I bought the I phone 5 on the 23 rd December 2012 from Manhattan new York and I live in Qatar and there is no service centre in qatar .. I am now without a phone although I paid 706$ and that's a big amount .. I am disappointed .. I bought an original phone from the original apple store and I ended up with a product that didn't survive for a month.. What quality assurance do the apple have on their products...I need help here

I appreciate the fast reply.
Well, I checked the iphone and the battery charged going from the bolt to the plug in the upper right hand corner very quickly. On my other cell phones, charging took a REAL long time.
Again, is this normal? I unplugged the iphone from the charger and I am going to monitor the battery power today. I find it odd that the battery would work on standby for 4 days without recharging the battery and then start doing something wacky. Any thoughts?

The first boot of iphone 5 is not possible due to lack of battery charge , it happened after charging, is there s any issue of battery life

Charge the phone for 15 minutes with the Apple charger. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears.

Hello apple community, I am Christian i am just wandering if my iPhone's embedded battery would bubble(get fat thingy) if I left it charging over nightly because last night I accidentally left it charging from 10 pm to 3 am thank you ,5s user here

Hello apple community, I am Christian i am just wandering if my iPhone's embedded battery would bubble(get fat thingy) if I left it charging over nightly because last night I accidentally left it charging from 10 pm to 3 am .. Note this happens for 3 nights also but not in a row, thanks in advance iPhone 5s user here .. First time with Apple

A few battery tips...
You can start using it out of the box, or charge it, whatever you like, doesn't matter either way.
You cannot overcharge the device, thus you can leave it plugged in as long as you like.
You can and should charge as often and as long as possible... deep discharges are hard on lithium batteries. Normal mobile use will usually result in the one charge cycle/month that Apple recommends although it's OK to fully discharge and then recharge to 100% every once in a while to recalibrate the battery meter.
